Lucrative Trade whose Followers Can
Not Well Be BoycOtted.
1t must have been remarked by
every one what an especially prosper.
GUS class Of people undertakcrs are az
a rule. Occasionally one is found who
seems to have n hard time in keeping
the wolf and creditors from bis door,
but such case is cause for comment
among all the other members of the
craft and gives food for as much gos-
sip as a constableship election. There
was never an undertaken made poor
who attended TO his business. In this
city the funeral directors make a clear
profit Of from $1,000 to $4,000 a year
each, according 10 the amount Of trade
done and the social standing Of the
patrons. An undertaken never seems
10 be busy, never tries 60 push trade,
and apparently cares but little how
many interments he conducts in
week. The secret Of all his apparent
apathy is the enormous profit made OH
every article sold by the director and
the extortionate price put upon his
services. A coffin which costs him at
wholesale about $25 he trims up at an
increased expense Of, say $40, and
then sells it 1T SI25 to $3.50. If the
friends Of the deceased are well of he
puts on a little more trimming and an
other 800. The very commonest kind
Of coffin is sold by the maker for ST.
The undertaken gets $50 or $50 for il.
They will exhibit a cloth-covorcd coffin
which they will tap pleasantly and
then announce to you that it is made
Of solid chestnut. The chestnut used
in coffins is Of the poorest quality and
the only merit it possesses is that il
will last somewhat longer than other
woods 1t does not cost as much as
good pine. and 'two-thirds less than
walnut. The meck-looling marauders
on the domestic and public purse oc-
casionally lose little by bad debts,
but it is very seldom that funeral eX-
penses are not paid II is a pity that q
boycott can not be put upon the whole
class, but it really can not. BROOKLYN

Bold Attempt of BOOdIer Ed. Mcdonald
to Break Jail.

CHICAGO, Sept. ED. Mcdonald, Nc
Garigle's Doodle partner, made desperate
attempt to escape from Cook County jail
few nights ago, but the fact only leaked
out last night. Two weeks ago a woman
visitor brought him long rope wrapped
around her. Mcdonald climbed to the
roof from his third-fioOF cell and landed
in the yard He met guard on the visit
ors' stairway, but was not challenged.
Going through an unguarded and unlocked
hall to the street, he met a lawyer, a de-
tective and a deputy sheriff, but they
would not have stopped him if he had not
drawn back into a dark recess. This ex-
cited the detectives suspicious, and he ran
forward and nailed the boodler.
Mcdonald Knocked the detective down
and then broke for the street. The other
two men oYerhauled him and, after hard
struggle, overpow cred him. As soon as
he saw the game was up Mcdonald uttered
a shriIl whistle and a carriage standing
near the jail dashed away up the street.
All privileges heretofore accorded McDon-
aid have been withdrawn, and he is con-
fined in a small single cell.

a woMAN.s WISH.


What would I be, if I could h&ve
My wish? All, well L ween
You know what 1 would be! OF course
could but be a queen.
All, yes, indeed A queen I'd be,
To rule by right divine;
And all fixed my fancy on
Should be forever mine.
A queen I'd be who'd wear her crown
As lightly as a flower
For loves sake, but o never, mol
For paltry pelf or power.
My kingdom, it should be as broad
AS Gods own gracious skies;
And all my tribute, but the light
OF one dear pair of eyes;
The light of eyes that do outshiR9
The steady stars above,
And-shall I ever hear them2-words
OF love from lips love.
o Fate, forbearl Be kind and let
Me play my woman's part
Only one throne 1 ask, and but
TO queen it DER one heart.

CHEAP LANDS In TREGo,

One day this week a gentleman OF In.
telligence, who is resident of the town
of Wallace, asserted to us that wild lands
in Trego county are twenty per cent.
cheaper than in Wallace county. This is
Z valuable testimony. It should have the
direct tendency of causing land buyers to
make purchases in this county, instead OF
going further west.
Speaking for Trego county, it is we'll
known fact that the cultivating process
in Kansas has been carried westward by
slow stages from the eastern line Of the
state. Trego county lies nearer the west
ern limit of actual agricultural conquest
than any country west of here lies. 1t
follows that Trego county will be brought
under high state of cultivation sooner
than the country west of here. The in
ference is unavoidable that the now low
priced lands in Trego county will with
the passage of the years be more valua-
BILE than land of similar qualities further
west.
These points, we submit, are worthy of
the thoughtful attention of home seekers
In the happy selection of location for
home there is ofttimes involved the very
principle of life ITSELF If it requires
money to buy land in Trego county, it re-
quires more to buy it hundred miles
further west. In our Judgment, almost
any person of pluck can manage to buy
piece of land on easy terms of some of
our land agents. The result certainly
would justify the effort in the majority of
cases "

DEATHS DOINGS.

Monday afternoon, about 5 o'clock, Mr.
E. s. Millard died at his residence, in
this city. He was about 81 years of age,
His death was caused by consumption,
with which he had suffered for many
years. Mr.. Millard was an agreeable
neighbor and good citizen. He had
lived in Trego county since her early
settlement. He was native of the state
of New York, and when a young man
moved to Illinois with his father
Mrs. Millard determined to have his
remains inferred at Milledgeville, Ill, the
place of their former residence. Monday
night the remains of their son, which had
lain in the Wa-Keeney cemetery, were
exhumed; and by Tuesday mornings train
Mrs. Millard started on the sad mission
of taking both collins to Milledgeville.
Mrs. Willard, we are told, will be back
here next week to continue her residence.
Her daughter, Lizzie, is expected back
to Wa-Keeney next month from Los
Angeles, Cal, where she has been stop
ping since last fall.
